课时作业(四) Cmprehensive Test fr Unit 4
Ⅰ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了TheGreatPlague：TheStryfLndn'sMstDeadlyYear这本书的主要内容以及作者描述伦敦大瘟疫这个历史事件时所采用的写作方法。
1．答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据第一段第三句“Outside the city wall, a wman's death was annunced and she died f a disease that was spreading in that area.”并结合语境可知，当时在伦敦市外，一种致命的疾病正在传播。由此可以推断出，伦敦正面临着一种即将到来的威胁，故选B。
2．答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“The Mtes pint ut that, even at the height f the plague, the city did nt fall int chas.”可知，两位作者指出，即使在瘟疫高峰之时，伦敦市也没有陷入混乱。该段第四句又列举了这个城市保持井然有序的具体体现，故选A。
3．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据第四段的内容，尤其是最后一句“Based n humanity (人性), the authrs ffer a masterful prtrait f a city and its inhabitants wh were attacked by and daringly resisted unimaginable hrrr.”可知，以人性为基础，作者巧妙地描绘了伦敦市的情况及其居民受到难以想象的恐惧的袭击并勇敢地抵抗这种恐惧的情况，并结合该段第一句可推知，作者关注这九个人是因为这九个人提供了生动的人性故事，故选C。
4．答案与解析：A 写作目的题。文章第一和第二段描述了瘟疫爆发时的情景，由此引出了第三和第四段对TheGreatPlague: TheStryfLndn'sMstDeadlyYear这本书的介绍。由此可知，本文的写作目的是介绍一本新书，故选A。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了猫头鹰的捕食习性。
1．答案与解析：B 选项B中的the saying指代上一句中的night wl，B项“但是这个谚语并不完全正确”，与空后“That's because...”形成了逻辑关系，解释了选项B的原因。故选B项。
2．答案与解析：G G项承上启下，其中的these varying sleep schedules指代上一段中所谈到的不同猫头鹰作息时间不同。G项意为“猫头鹰作息时间不同很大程度上是因为所捕食的猎物出没时间不同”，下文所列举的两个例子正说明了这一点。故选G项。
3．答案与解析：D 空前一句提到“正如北方鹰鸮的名字所传达的那样，猫头鹰看上去特别像鹰”，D项“那是因为猫头鹰和鹰是有密切联系的”解释了上一句中lks quite hawkish，同时也对应了下一句中的cmmn ancestr。故选D项。
4．答案与解析：A A项意为“猫头鹰有出色的视觉和听觉”，下文定语从句中的bth f which就指代选项A中的visin and hearing。故选A项。
5．答案与解析：E 结合空前的句式结构sme...，这与E项中的Others...构成了“”结构。句意：有些动物在特定的时间捕食特定的猎物，白天或晚上。而其它的则更一般，更能适应需要。上下句语境内容相符，故选E项。
Ⅲ.完形填空
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。圣诞节来临，Jake由于打架没有得到应得的橘子，当他伤心哭泣时，一个特殊的橘子送到了他的面前。该故事体现了人们之间的团结与友爱。
1．答案与解析：D 在圣诞节时Jake感觉到孤儿院稍微温暖一些、饭菜也稍微丰盛一些，不仅仅(mre than)这些，圣诞节意味着每个人发个橘子。
2．答案与解析：B 每年，每个孩子都收到(received)一个橘子作为圣诞礼物。
3．答案与解析：C 丰盛的饭菜，诱人的橘子，这样的待遇在孤儿院里很少被提供(prvided)。
4．答案与解析：A n ther thing“没有其他的任何东西”。
5．答案与解析：A wuld表示过去习惯性的动作，可译为“总是”。
6．答案与解析：B 橘子对孩子们来说是非常珍爱的礼物，因此舍不得吃，欣赏着(admiring)它。
7．答案与解析：C 等着吃橘子的时刻(mment)。由于橘子在孩子们的手里，随时都可以吃，所以不能用“机会”，更不能用“命令”。
8．答案与解析：D 把橘子看得非常珍贵，舍不得吃，所以会一直把橘子保存“到”元旦。until“到……为止”。
9．答案与解析：C 看着橘子就会回想起圣诞节，因此把对圣诞节的回忆(memry)延伸到元旦。appearance“外表”；perfrmance“表演”；memry“记忆”；celebratin“庆祝”。
10．答案与解析：A 由于在圣诞节孩子们会得到一个橘子，所以圣诞节对孩子们来说是特别的(particular)日子。
11．答案与解析：D 根据下文的rules和fight判断，应为break。Jake因为打架而违反了孤儿院的规章制度。
12．答案与解析：D 橘子对孩子们如此重要，而Jake“失去”了它，这正是他哭泣的原因。

Ⅳ.语法填空
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者介绍了自己突然发病得到急救的过程。
1．答案与解析：went 考查时态。根据上文的wke和gt可知，此处也要用一般过去时。
2．答案与解析：did 考查助动词。此处是倒装句，时态是一般过去时，缺少助动词did。
3．答案与解析：wrking 考查省略句。句子补全为：While (I was)wrking...，省略了从句的主语和be动词。
4．答案与解析：s 考查连词。上文是原因，下文是结果，所以填s。
5．答案与解析：hands 考查名词复数。hand是可数名词，此处要用复数形式。
6．答案与解析：surrunding 考查非谓语动词。surrund和dctrs，nurses，family and friends是主动关系，所以用动词­ing形式作宾语补足语。
7．答案与解析：was tld 考查语态。tell和I有动宾关系，讲述的是过去发生的事情，所以用一般过去时的被动语态。
8．答案与解析：immediately 考查副词。修饰动词要用副词形式。
9．答案与解析：my 考查代词。修饰名词要用形容词性物主代词。
10．答案与解析：t 考查介词。return t...“恢复到……；回到……”。
